With its stylish design, these Monoprice earphones will prompt complete strangers to ask you where you got them, but you won't hear a word they say as you rock on down the highway!

Made with a noise-isolating design and producing clear and solid sound, these earphone are a great way to enjoy your favorite music from your iPod or other portable music device. They fit comfortably into the ears and produce solid bass notes and clear midrange tones, both normally a weakness in earphones, thanks to the large 14.2 mm driver unit. The package includes three different sized pairs of silicone earbuds, for a better, more comfortable fit.

The 48" cord terminates in a gold-plated 3.5 mm stereo plug, which connects to most popular music devices and phones, with better connectivity and corrosion resistance than the more common nickel and tin-plated connectors.

The end result is a pair of earphones that are made for the rigors of daily use from the music fan on the go! Amazing sound clarity, hard-rocking bass, and durability. Who could ask for more?

What? You want Aerosmith to play at your birthday party? OK, you CAN ask for more!

Note: For best results these earphones should be broken in by playing pink noise through them for about 24 hours. The difference in sound quality before and after the pink noise break-in period can be quite dramatic.

Pros: - Great headphones. Like all the reviews say, you can't get anything better at a brick and mortar store for less than $20-30. There are, however, many good options that will beat these around $20 online. However, that's about triple the price!
- You can read other reviews for the sound profile. As they almost all say, some highs fall off and some think that the bass could be better but is still surprisingly good. All say that, again for the price, they are awesome.
- Many people own these and love them, and thus there are discussions all over the net about ways to alter them and make them better. This also serves as a resource to solve any common issues with them.

Cons: - The included tips are pretty lackluster, and by that I mean the headphones will not sound as nearly good with them, nor will they be comfortable for those with small ears. This is the biggest downside. Generally, people recommend foam tips (although they are generally more expensive than the headphones and are not super durable) or double flange tips (cheaper, more durable, less isolating/comfortable). Do some research, get tips that work for you, and you will be rewarded.
- There are some reports of the cord not being extremely durable or the headphone plastic not feeling high-quality enough. I have had these for only about a week, so I can't comment except to remind you of the price.
- Similarly, there are some reports of quality control (QC) issues causing differences between pairs of these.

These are amazing and cost less than lunch anywhere that isn't McDonalds. There are tons of resources online dedicated to solving possible problems and altering the sound to many preferences. Get alternative tips for good sound and comfort - do your research!

Love these

Pros: Great sound and the cord is threaded, which gives it a nice feel! Doesn't stick to itself like most cables

Cons: None really

A great pair of earbuds! Great quality for what I paid for and nothing really to complain about. Highly recommended.

Best Bang for the Buck

Pros: Great price. Good quality sound. Braided cord.

Cons: Slightly bulky.

Hands down the best bang for the buck earbuds. I also have a pair of the Bose, and when I compare the two, I regret the price that was paid for the Bose when you can get comparable sound with these!

not the most comfortable

Pros: Decent sound when they are properly placed in your ear.

Cons: really tough to get a good fit in the ear. cord easily tangles

decent ear buds, especially for the price. very tough to get a proper fit in the ear. even when placed in the ear the plastic surround can get uncomfortable after prolonged usage (cross country flights for example). The fabric cord is a very nice touch but can be easily tangled. I would also like an inline mic as it is rare that a user would utilize ear buds on anything but a phone (at least in my experience).

An almost perfect product

Pros: Good sound quality, nice drivers, and a good fit !! The cable feels nice and the entire product looks very nice.

Cons: The design of the ear bud creates a little bit of an irritation in the ear. If they had a smooth outer surface rather than the design that they currently have, it'll be much better.

Getting them to fit correctly took a little bit of experimentation, but once I got it right the ear buds sat very comfortably in my ears. I could listen to music at moderate volume for hours together. The sound becomes a little treble heavy as the volume increases and is a little unpleasant to the ears. The stereo separation is good and for a product at this price range, the sound stage, although minimal, does exist. Overall, I am happy with this product - especially because I can carry it everywhere without worrying about losing it and wasting a bunch of money. Cheers !!
